Well that's because you probably have no appreciation of hand-made stuff. Art, a craft... whatever. You have the skillset to produce these things? Doubt it... sure they're dolls whatever... but you honestly don't think tailoring clothing, regardless of scale and size, paint application, sculpting etc. not being art? You wouldn't consider the model makers or prop makers, or research and development people, or the maquette makers, or the sculptors, or the set makers and makeup people for films and TV artists? You wouldn't call films with dolls or maquettes such as Kubo and the Two Strings art?
Whatever, if you're just after dolls just get dolls - I don't understand how anyone can collect these things and not appreciate or understand the artistic skillset that goes into them.
Again... entitled. Same reasoning can be applied to those who would pay top price for a real or original art print, painting or drawing - and those who are happy just having a ****tily scanned version of it on crap paper for 5 quid - expecting the same type of work for as cheap as possible.
That's not to say that people who don't have the money for such things can't go down that avenue, it's fair enough. But in the end, stuff like this isn't a necessity, and if you're trying to get the exact same quality as the actual thing for a cheaper price, in my opinion it's because you don't give a **** for the integrity and work that goes into them - which is evident by you calling them just dolls, which yeah they are dolls, but that's not all they are. Again, just because you want it but can't afford it, but expect someone else's quality of a different price point, it's because you want it and don't need it, and are self-entitled to thinking you deserve someone else's work for a cheaper price because you think you and others in the hobby should set someone else's price point.
I'm not rich myself, and have to actively save up for anything I want, but I wouldn't buy them if I didn't think the work that goes into them is deserving of it.
